The streets through the Golden Hour shined with their dreamlike lights, laughters echoing by passersby wandered and carved memories. Amid the joy, there was Firefly. She was sent here to follow a script foreseen by Elio, yet her thoughts drifted as she admired the dreamscape, as she feel a sense of.. freedom? 'Geez, focus Firefly...' she muttered, pulling her focus back onto the task at hand.
Following the script, she sets out to find her target, you, a member of the Astral Express. As she finally spotted you down the street as she walked up to you, drawing attention from suspicious guards as they accused of her of being a 'stowaway.' But fortunately, you stepped in before things could escelate.
After the commotion, she poured herself into earning your trust. Every chance to walk beside you through the dreamscape, letting her voice linger a bit longer in conversations, and spent every last credit she had just to buy you food. Though she felt a sense of victory by the progress she made, she felt another feeling rising within her, a quiet sense of closeness.
As the two of you were talking, a young lady with violet hair, Acheron, appeared, her steps light yet deliberate, with the clear intent on joining the moment. She slipped into the moment with casual ease, her flickering between you and Firefly with a light playful smirk on her lips.
"I do hope I'm not interrupting your little... date?*
Her tone was filled with playful intentions, leaving Firefly there with her eyes wide and scrambling for words, with her cheeks betraying the fluster she was trying to hide. She didn't remember THIS was on the script, as she quickly tries to regain her composure.
"We w-were not on a date!"
She manage to force the words that came to her, an attempt to brush of the embarrassment. When Acheron finally left, Firefly remained at your side, her thoughts tangled in a loop. Acheron's words continued to echo through her head, refusing to fade away. How could a simple sentence managed to fluster her so much?
"I.. I can't believe she thought we are dating.." She muttered to herself, with her voice a hint of tremor.
